I gotta love the way the NYT consistently skirts the Clinton contribution to 'downsizing' the military.

He did it with the agreement of the Pentagon and, more importantly, a Republican Congress. There is more than enough blame to go around for all. The greater tragedy is that the Republican Congress and the Republican president did nothing to reverse it.
